Piano-banging upbeat political statement in a challenging tone
PANARCHY is the vehicle for performing the more progressive rock songs written by Scott Gordon. The band was started by Scott Gordon (keyboards/vocals/guitars)
Welcome to PANARCHY - proof positive that the craft of songwriting - intelligent, poignant lyrics, and innovative but sonorous harmony of voices and instruments - is not dead. PANARCHY is for me what UTOPIA was for Todd Rundgren. A real band for the band, in-between my own acoustic solo performing and recording.

Story behind the song
I needed a song to express my frustrations with the way things go on this planet and I wrote it from the heart. Any resemblance to modern events would be of course, purely coincidental.
Lyrics
DON'T TREAD ON ME (Scott Gordon - March 2007) Well I'm looking for the truth - I'm on that track again I'm looking to the youth to put it back again Those towers fell - were blown to hell and back again The powers tell us - lies again! Now war is on - the war goes on - it's in your face But war is wrong and it's not going anyplace The greedy take the needy - what a seedy case The free, the brave - is losing face Give it back - my Democracy! Set my Republic free! Our Constitution - you better let it be Follow what it says - and Don't Tread On Me! Well now hacking an election is quite treasonous But it's not like your selection's really pleasing us Now you're stacking up attacking freedom's leaving us You're cracking up - while cracking down Give it back - my Democracy! Set my Republic free! Our Constitution - you better let it be Follow what it says - and Don't Tread On Me! Inside job - Outside reason In-law deals - Outlaw treason Involuntary - Psych commitment Shocking behavior - Shocking equipment Drugging children - Building Prisons These conditions - Beg for revision - Don't Tread On Me! Program your machines to do your dirty tricks Covering your dirty deeds with politics Pouring your confusion out into the mix Is not the way - It's not the way! You want to buy my silence hoping I won't say But it's better late then never, you got put away Cause my freedom isn't going to take a holiday Not for long - So I'll sing my song Give it back - my Democracy! Set my Republic free! Our Constitution - you better let it be Follow what it says - and Don't Tread On Me! Scott Gordon - March 2007
